Centurions

This was the product of 800 submissions by BBC producers for the greatest non-musical artists of the twentieth century.

The list was then whittled down to 100 on Radio 3 by a panel of four people: novelist Antonia Byatt, the art historian Bryan Robertson, the literary scholar and critic John Carey and the former Reith Lecturer and professor of communications Jean Aitcheson.

Radio 3 then produced a weekly programme in late 1999, focusing on one of these artists.

Trivia

The BBC7 broadcasts are not in the same sequence as the original broadcast.

Sometimes the BBC will list this programme as "CenturiAns".

There should be 100 episodes but I've got 101 listed after merging lists - 092 is the problem.

Each episode is 15 minutes.

Damian Hirst - The Physical Impossibillity Of Death In The Mind Of Someone Living

The greatest film of all time? 'The best train set a boy ever had?' A movie about a sledge? In 1941 Welles bullied, cajoled and badgered his fellow collaborators and turned the dream factory of Hollywood on its head to give the world 'Citizen Kane'. A first-time film-maker's masterclass - a deep focus dream of an American life.

Biographer and writer David Thomson, director Peter Bogdanovich and screenwriter John Logan celebrate this universal portrait of failure, decline and self-destruction that has haunted film-makers and audiences ever since.

Film historian David Robinson and writer David Thomson celebrate Buster Keaton and his movie machine.

Film historian David Robinson and writer David Thomson celebrate this immaculate vehicle for Keaton's stone-faced genius.

`The General' is a tale of a man and his two true loves - a wondrous steam engine and his sweetheart - caught up in the American Civil War.

Keaton's greatest comedy, it was also one of his most painful failures.

Film historian David Robinson and writer David Thomson celebrate the film star and his movie machine.
